Reps Kulik and Scibak Announce Retirement

Big shake-up for the Western Mass delegation as Rep. Kulik of Worthington (1st Franklin district) and Rep. Scibak of South Hadley (2nd Hampshire district) announced their retirement today. Kulik was first elected in 1993, Scibak in 2002.

Atkins, Kaufman and Smizik are all staunch progressives. I’m confident our own Stomv will be a worthy successor to Smizik. Kaufman represents a solidly progressive district. Atkins represents more purple territory. As does Dwyer, which could be a great progressive pickup opportunity now that it’s an open seat. Wonder if the prospect of four more years of Baker/DeLeo had anything to do with this…
